To the Colleran and Bantz families...I really don't know what to say
Anne and I lived a few houses from each other, went to the same school and at one point our Dad's worked in the same machine shop. I am blessed to have so many memories even if I can't put them on paper. I know personally that healing takes time. I am on that journey with you all from here in S.C. Love Donna

Dear Gil and Edith,
You don't know me, but I knew Anne for nearly 20 years sort of like a Pen Pal. We became acquainted when she was working at Royal and I was working for a law firm that Royal used. Anne and I hit if off from the start and we spoke frequently, mostly NOT about work. Gil may recall as he participated with some comments every now and again. Unfortunately, despite several attempts, we never got to meet in person, but I felt like I knew her all my life and I will miss her. I was always holding out hope that she would start to get better and we could eventually plan to meet. I feel so bad that we didn't get to speak over the past several months, but I was going through some medical issues that I didn't want her to know about because she had more than her share of problems.
Even as a friend from afar, I know how very much she loved her family and friends, but especially, both of you. I know it's little comfort right now, but over time, knowing the special love she had for you will be the one constant to keep you going; she will always be with you. I speak from experience.
Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers and Anne will always have a special place in my heart.

Gil, Edith & Bob,
There are no words to express the loss you are going through. I don’t know where to start or what to say. I’m glad she is no longer suffering however she left a hole in all our hearts.
She and I always love SciFi Shows & Star Trek was one that I feel is very fitting.
Spock talking to Kirk stating- " You will always be my friend" says it all.
A person that departs from this earth never truly leaves, for they are still alive in our hearts and minds, through us, they live on. Please accept my condolences, Anne will not be forgotten.

Dear Gil, Robert , Edith and the rest of the family: there really are no wise words I can say to help you during this time. I pray God will give you all the strength to face each day without Anne for I know she'd want you all to be happy, not sad. That was her unselfish way. The time I had with her will always remain sweet memories for me. She was a sweet soul and Heaven is lucky to have her back. May she rest in peace and soar with the Angels. Love-G

All/ I don’t know where to start or what to say. I’m so sorry for the loss of such a wonderful family friend. I’m glad she is no longer suffering.
